Preseason football barely tells anything about the potential success of a team. Ideally the first unit offense and defense look sharp in limited series, and then the rest of the roster fights for a spot on the final 53. This year was different because: Carson Wentz. Last season the Eagles beat the Packers in Week…

Sam Bradford plays like an average quarterback. Ask anyone to describe Bradford. Mediocre probably best describes Bradford, while overpaid and overrated chronicle him, too. Bradford completed the most passes for a rookie in NFL history in 2010. He won Offensive Rookie of the Year later that season. The former Heisman trophy winner looked like one…

In some ways, Saric defines the Sam Hinkie Era. As much of a risk as the Joel Embiid selection was, Saric was a similar risk. Two years ago Dario Saric promised to be in Philadelphia, and after heavy speculation that he would change his mind for financial reasons, Saric fulfilled his initial promise arriving Thursday afternoon.…

Players like Ben Simmons aren’t commonplace. A towering, rugged forward that handles the ball and passes to teammates in transition do not come along often. Watching Simmons this summer league provided the first glimpse of how his skill set translates to a bigger playing surface, and with better talent. This pass to Timothe Luwawu in…

Bryan Colangelo promised signings, and he delivered. Jerryd Bayless, Sergio Rodriguez and Gerald Henderson reportedly signed with the Philadelphia 76ers during the opening days of free agency. Bayless, who last season for the Milwaukee Bucks, averaged 10.4 points and 3.1 assists, while shooting 43.7 percent on 4.4 three-point attempts per game, signed a three-year, $27…

I’m a fan of competition. I’d like to see OKC-Golden State Part II next conference finals. So, for selfish reasons, I hate Kevin Durant joining the Warriors. When LeBron James left Cleveland to team up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, I was pissed. I remember going to Miami’s first game in Philadelphia, and booing…

Unlike the past two off-seasons (aside from signing Kendall Marshall late off-season), Philadelphia will sign a free agent to a contract this July. With the cap spike, Philly has nearly $47 million in cap space (that number could be lower if Dario Saric does sign for this season). The 76ers shouldn’t use most of that…

Instead of trading players and picks for Kris Dunn, Philadelphia stayed put, using the first, 24th and 26th picks to draft Ben Simmons, Timothe Luwawu and Furkan Korkmaz. It’s shocking that Philadelphia didn’t trade Jahlil Okafor or Nerlens Noel. Okafor and Noel had been linked to lottery teams the past month, but for now they…

Three of the past four Finals I’ve wanted the LeBron James-led team to lose. When Golden State overcame a 3-1 deficit against Oklahoma City it marked the first time since LeBron’s first title that I wanted his team to win. It’s funny how things change. Think about how Cleveland built their roster immediately after LeBron…

Watching the Warriors this year has been a joy, and they definitely earned their Western Conference Championship. Even after the Thunder went up 3-1, most people probably felt comfortable that Golden State would handle business. Maybe it’s different if two of the final three games were in Oklahoma rather than California. But nonetheless, the Warriors…
